Angelina Jordan - It's a Man's World - ROCK MUSICIAN REACTION 

Angelina doesn't do very low or very high notes just to show off her range. She'll do whatever the song or her interpretation calls for and does so effortlessly . She is very well becoming the QUEEN of jazz.

On her head is a Mid Sommer flower crown. Sweden, Norway and a few other northern countries celebrate the return of the sun, the warm, the flowers....hence the crown, and eating lots of strawberries and chocolate pie:)

Thank you for your insightful reaction to this Angelina Jordan performance. It is obvious that you are a knowledgeable musician who understands the technical and artistic aspects of vocal music. As a retired music educator and jazz musician myself, I would say to all young singers: Don’t try to sing like Angelina until you know how to do it. Take voice lessons and learn everything you can about vocal technique and artistic styling. If you try to do what she does before you know what you are doing, you could severely damage your voice and may never be able to sing again. Angelina has a gift that very, very few people in history have ever had. All of her physical vocal abilities and sense of musical style came with her at birth and because her family played music all the time as she was growing up. She is a force of nature. You can aspire to sing like her, but don’t push it. We would like to see and hear you on RU-vid someday!

I'm impressed that she rocks the conductor - someone who's been beside her at least a few full rehearsals, someone who know whather her power is like, - and yet there he is, disbelieving so he twists his eye to sight-verify she's still on this planet, then loses his balance so steps back, then pushes himself back upright. Like boxer taking a blow - "Where'd THAT come from?!!"

The wearing of a wreath of leaves, flowers, grasses, and/or branches on one's head dates all the way back to the days of Ancient Greece/Ancient Rome. It is still a tradition seen today in many parts of Europe like Ukraine but also something common in Polynesia and some North American aboriginal groups.

Another great reaction with too much musical knowledge to share 👍👍👍👍🙏🙏🙏

She doesn't have the life experience ...the angst, the pain of heartache.....but when it comes, cause life is life.....She's gonna be phenom"" Prodigy....

She writes her own arrangements since she was 8, that is the royal Norwegian orchestra and they are no strangers to her

The flowers on her head are very typical for Skandinavian countries. That is how they celebrate their short summers

She's totally at home in her environment. She's a total gift to music.

i´m totally sure she will delight us in the future as she is doing now

Singing is just breathing for her.

Her interpretations are amazing for such a young person and she adds a subtler, more feminine touch than JB or CS.. I appreciate that she doesn't feel the need to add in all the vocal acrobatics on every song. Love the reactions.

That's a wreath of flowers on her head, a festive Scandinavian thing. You'll see lot of variations of it in her live performances.

Angelina is a phenomenon ...

Absolutely my alltime fav SINGER... EVER...PERIOD.

Angelina wasnt bored, she wasnt pleased with the band in this concert, they didnt say what the issue was but the cleaned up live version of this is incredible

I think you are misunderstanding her. She looks relaxed because this genre is where she lives. She’s just so comfortable here. But this was an epic performance. I can only imagine the reaction she would get if this was sung at night in a huge concert. The crowd would be going crazy and she would be an instant legend. The flowers in her hair is a Scandinavian thing I’m guessing because I’ve seen other girls from that region wear flowers in their hair. I think the flowers, her dress and her bare feet fit the old school mood. There is something about her at this age that reminds me of Janis Joplin. It’s not her look or her sound but maybe her soul?

I thinks she’s just relaxed. She said in an interview that when’s she’s singing she’s in infinity.

Thanks for your reaction! Those are flowers in her hair, it's a thing in Norway. And the other thing is, she is ageless. If we don't watch but only listen she delivers the song to our heart and it's not creepy at all - it's just right & what the song is meant to be.

She makes every song her own ..and yes, she now has the lower registers sorted .She started singing at a very young age, won Norway's got talent at 8. Her parents only allow her to do a few performances a year as she is only 12 now...She has 3 songs she has written and performed. She is soo much better now as this is an older performance ..you have a lot to catch up on !

She does Queen's The Show Must Go On, and Whitney's, I Have Nothing, and she can belt it out! Thanks.

Thank you so much for reacting to this one! I was going to comment that because of the audio quality, you might have to listen to this a few times to pick up on everything she is really doing here... then I read your comment in the description. Glad you were able to finally hear it like I do! Aside from her voice sounding like an adult, the thing that really blows my mind is how a 12 year old even knows how (and more importantly when) to put all those little details into her vocals. She is a true vocal genius in my opinion.

She has an almost mystical understanding of the music

Flowers! On her head!!

Tu sei un rocker , lei é una cantante jazz, bisogna apprezzare questo nella sua voce

Such smart observations. I hear her work better after hearing the way you hear her.

I love this little girl

I wish I could hear a good sound track of its a man’s world. Her voice is made for that soung

The Skandinavians and their flower crowns...

she is super :) :) :)

Her voice changes with every song she does.

I would love to hear her take on an Etta James hit! That would be the real test!

What's in her head? An ocean of: tone + music + passion + deep feeling + *old soul* = what we hear...... If not.... Why I shed tears when she sang I was a fool to love you when she was *6* ?

I agree with others below, you should listen to her interpretation of Adele - A Million Years Ago. It is quite recent, has a great sound (Neumann mic), and is representative of who she is as an artist. Yes, she is seriously impressive. After covering Sinatra, she ended up singing live for Quincy Jones. After covering Whitney Houston, she ended up singing live with David Foster. After covering Amy Winehouse, Mark Ronson gave her the backtrack for his Miley Cyrus-song to do a cover from. She is the next big thing, at some point in the future.

Angelina always takes songs and adapts them into her style so they come out completely unique and that is one of the reasons she confident. More importantly she gives us that emotion from the bottom of her soul which a lot of new performers don't show. If you want to see how low her low notes get (its amazing!!!) watch Angelina cover Adele's "A Million Years Ago" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-QHLtZQ3sIwE.html

If she can sing with so much ease at this age, makes me wonder what she will be capable of 10 years from now!

Thank you for another great reaction to Angelina Jordan. She is amazing at that age and she dosen’t try to sound like James brown she just doing IT her way and makes it her own and the lot range and high range she dosen’t do them just to show that she can. That is why I love her voice and sound and she just adapt her self to any song she wanna sing and she picks out the song she want to sing herself. Nice to hear you gonna take Oslo too.

When you listen to and mimic music from a very young age you can develop an incredibly good ear and emotional connection to the words that are being sung. I believe she is able to connect emotionally with the songs she sings which is why she's so awesome. Never forget my 8 year old saying while playing piano mummy I can feel the music starting in my toes and moving up my body mind blowing comment.

A template for how to do a reaction - the right number of in-song comments, on-point and brief. Informed analysis at the end. She has a very very rare voice, perfect for this song. I think the effort from her is in her training; from the little I know about her, she puts in the hard work to pull the full potential from her great gift. P.S. Her head gear and dress would make her fit right in on a stage in the 1950s, right along with that song and voice.

She's very grounded. Earthy Capricorn. Doesn't need to perform. She's just one with the music, and draws us in, she does some really super slow songs and busy, jeezeled up people just melt into it. Magical old soul from another world.

Nate, I had to come back to this video to tell you... Because you said you really like this song (and because the audio on this live show is not stellar), I think you really, really should give a listen to her album version of "It's a mans World". Not for a reaction video or anything, just in your own time, for your own enjoyment. Put on those prized headphones, crank the volume a little, and prepare yourself for absolute magic. To me, this is masterpiece level stuff. So much subtle details and nuances. Just listen closely to how much flavor she puts on the very first "world". It's insane. ..and on top of that she was 11 years old when this album was cut. It's almost impossible for your brain to match the voice you are hearing to her picture on the cover. Seriously, give it a listen (or 10) sometime when you have a minute. I think you will approve..... ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7lb2u45W-yU.html (would love to hear what you think of it)

she will grow into the emotional and song interpretation as she gains life experiences that's the difference of a young cover singer verses singing about your own experiences, extraordinary talent just needs to live life a little more love her and your channel thumbs up.

I appreciate your extra remarks on her vocal ability. I went back and listened to James Brown (who I never liked) and Chris Stapleton (who I do like) singing this song. Then I listened to Angelina again. And for me, she is by far the better singer, and her version is much better IMO. Angelina actually sings the song, while Chris and James scream it. In almost every case when Angelina covers a song, it's as good and usually better than the original. This is no exception IMO. Thanks for your honest reaction. Best wishes. Billy J

you said it.and i begin subscribing you

Effortless is a perfect description. I remember her saying in an interview when she was a little 8 year old, "for me singing is as easy as breathing". Unfortunately, in this video you lose some of the details in her vocals because of the "fan-cam" audio, but you can hear it all on the albums version, and it is amazing. You mentioned you were going to do Oslo later, be prepared for even poorer audio on that one as "mans world" was probably the best audio-wise from that show.

The question should be what’s in her throat…

Did you hear that clarinet in the background! I love Angelina Jordan and that clarinet solo.

She will be so amazing when shes old enough to have had the blues. But she has a very old soul.

Hi SaWD! Glad you are doing reaction videos of Angelina Jordan. I've been following this talented, young lady for some time now. I suppose the term child prodigy is appropriate here. However, there is a difference between Angelina and the numerous other very young imitators we see on talent shows. Angelina literally appropriates the musical work and makes it her own. When you listen to her cover of Gloomy Sunday by Billy Holiday, at age 7, and the author's work back to back, you realise there is something special happening. I don't suppose Angelina herself would be able to give us any kind of rational explanation. Except that, as she once said when asked about her pastime, she promptly replied singing. It is clear that her brain is able to reproduce not only the song but the author's sentiments. those "little vocal trills at the end of runny lines" as you put it. That's not just imitation. It's getting into the skin of an artist and searching their soul. And discovering their humanity. And sharing it. I suppose the innocence of childhood empowers Angelina to do this without judgement, albeit at the subconscious level. She is now an adult professional singer, apparently worth $0.8 million.She has clearly benefited from much support by her parents who have nurtured her career with love, care and responsibility. Angelina is now a 16 year old young lady. Her voice has matured well and remains full of human sentiment. She retains her simple ways and seems unaffected by her fame and good fortune. Winning Norway's got talent aged 7 with Gloomy Sunday has clearly paved the way for great things. All well-deserved. We wish her well on her journey

First, it was a hard song to cover. With all the vocal maneuvers one need to perform just to sound ok with this kind of song. And Angelina just made a little effort to sound great. She made it her style and not went to sound like the original. And when the song is done Angelina is like ....ahm ok is that it? Lol. 9.75 is a high mark considering it is a James Brown thing.

I love Angelina, sge is one of my favorite artists. I don't gave many, but she is one of them. I was wondering, and I am really sure that others have asked the same, if you could react to something by Hua chen yu? He is a very unique artist, very very diffrent, highly creative, versatile, captivating and imensely talented.he isn't afraid of taking risks when it comes to music and he thinks about music in a whole other way than others. Since he is so diffrent, it has been a struggle for him at first, to be accepted, but the 6 years he's been active as an artist, he's gonne from nothing to everything. He is now the leading artist in China. First and foremost a live artist, and he will alwats, always surprise you, and when you think you understand who he is as and artist he will show you that you don't. Every time. He is simply the most intetesting and versatile artist I have ever cone accros.

Check out the clarinetist with glasses when she starts to sings.

You must listen to her all of her recordings

I just checked out Chris Stapleton's version of 'Man's World'. If James Brown is a 10 then sorry but Chris is about a 4. Angelina's version is so much more soulful. Angelina wins here. But thanks for the look at Chris as I never heard him before.

Angelina, pouring a glass of milk...read that in another AJ comment...love it. And love her signature head gear.

I was surprised by her deep voice on the NGT videos

I love that you reacted to this! She is amazing. Would you please REACT to her cd (It's Magic) version of Mr. Loney. Not the on stage cell phone video, but the cd one . Thank you. This cd is amazing! Her voice is magic.

the flowers in the hair is sort of a thing with her . throw back to another generation .

untapped riches in her precious soul..

👏👏👏👏👍👍👍👍🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

Can you please do a reaction to "I'm a fool to want you" from the same concert?? She did the Billie Holiday's version and it was simply AMAZING!!! I really like your reactions, you are very much into music and not afraid to be honest if something is not of your taste, I trust your genuine opinions.

I loved Angelina singing this, although it wasn't a very good recording as the band was far, far too loud and. Check out Angelina's recording of The Show Must Go On.

I also like her studio recording of this song. Check it out.

I would love to see her sing smoth operator by Sade.

You said something there that I have been thinking for years watching her develop. You said she looks bored. ............. I think she finds these songs so easy that she loses interest and can often be seen looking off stage or looking to the side. I could be just imagining it but was surprised when you said exactly what I've been thinking.

She sings what she hears in her head. That's how genius works. Billie Holiday had a very limited range, yet we we hold her in very high regard and rightfully so. Angelina's 12 at this time, I think she is still playing with what she can do with her voice. Sometimes a person who is an original isn't there to meet our expectations, she is here to meet hers. She is going to keep growing as an artist. I can guarantee you Chris Stapelton sang this song a "few" times before he found the magic for himself. I have to ask, what was your 12-13 year old voice doing, is it different now? So let's give her some time and space to work it out. Were you or anybody reading this singing for Quincy Jones at 13? Come back to me when she is in her 20's. I like your reactions, I just think we should all take a deep breath when it comes to a 13 yr. old. I think she did a great job, I also think the band was too loud. I could see her look at the band leader a couple of times. Angelina's still my favorite young singer, I am excited to see where is she going to go.

James Brown was not the King of soul, he was the "Godfather of Soul"

Watching again, want to comment again. This performance illustrates one of my pet peeves - over-amplifying instruments that were designed to project sound before there were amplifiers. Military (and other) bands played for significant sized audiences for many generations "unplugged." Maybe this venue needed mics and amps, but that brings up my next peeve - sound techs who think the sound is all about them, showing off their amps and effects, instead of serving the song. Hey guys, this isn't an electric guitar! Brass, etc, just needs a little help! Here, Angelina had to fight against the music. (I do realize this low-tech recording from the crowd doesn't get what it truly sounded like to the ear, but pretty sure I'm not far off.)

Hows that humble pie taste? Hahahaha!

Sometimes the band is too loud and covers her voice. She was made to do this, not forced but it's natural for her.

👍👍👍👍👍

Hi, you have to hear this song from last year counter she is not on the video but you can hear her singing really good this band was to loud, please also play a million years ago, and also stay by Rhianna, you have got to hear her.thank you!!!🎵

Hello and thank you for a great reaction. You have to react to Aurora, another Norwegian artist. She is in my eyes/ears one of the best female live artist out ther. My i suggest that you start with "It happend quiet" live from Nidarosdomen, a church in Trondheim. The whole concert in that church is just amazing. I will link to it after under my comment. Best regards from a new follower from Norway, Stian :)

👏👏 👏🇳🇴🇧🇷

The word your were looking for is not cavalier, it's nonchalant. That comes closer to your description "effortless and smooth". By the way, she was sultry at 7.

She's doing the Etta James version.

Nate, Good reaction, a bit wordy on the front end. That's not your usual style so no complaints. Really good review, I learned a new point of view. Thats always good. Please find time to do her 5 to 6 yr old self singing Rolling in the Deep. I will send the link if you want . All the good reactors.... Nevermind I wont throw a guilt trip on you. But you know I will keep nagging you about it. Thanks, Diana

So says 6 feet of songbird . 3cheers from Canada

and she was 12 years old when recording this :-)

Chek out oure time with AJ😅

flower crown

When you say she looks bored i know what you mean. And i think i can explain. She is a mimic. She started copying jazz singers as a baby pretty much. And she's just able to sing in any style or manner, if she's heard it she can copy it, and don't get me wrong, she is creative about how she interprets the songs musically. But she doesn't actually connect to the words, she is connecting with the sound only. Her voice is quite literally an instrument she plays, but the words mean almost nothing to her at this point. They can't possibly mean anything to her because she's a kid, and that's why she looks bored, because honestly she is. She's repeating a task that is effortlessly simple to her, and she is extraordinary at it. But she is just doing the party trick really, being a performing seal. It means nothing to her But come back in 10 or 20 years, add in the failed relationships, the price of fame, the teenage years, school and all the other shit that life throws at you and then she will be writing from a real place, connecting with the words, and the deeper meaning of them, and then boy oh boy, she is going to be astonishingly good.

Sorry its' a question of preference but I listened to the Cris Stapleton version..... personally didn't find anything exciting about it...... never even heard of him until you mentioned him...... anyway as far as Angelina God Has Blessed Us All sending us this Unique Angel.....

please react to Angelina oing ,a million years,stay, born to die to name a few thanks

You haven’t heard anything yet. You have underestimated her

"My Mind" Allie Sherlock (original)

Would love to See your reaktion to Dimash SOS from The Singer 2017.

She is a twelve year old girl so she wears flowers on her head. Not that there is anything wrong with that.

She has this down! Beats Chris by a mile. The only other person who compares to her is perhaps Louisa Johnson (linked below). React to her if you like, but please give it a listen. Not only does she have the voice for it, but her presentation is next to perfection. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xiiMH21PfG4.html As far as your comment regarding how her growth may affect her voice, I had a similar concern, but now that the growth spurts seem to have died out at a hair under 6', she seems to have weathered that hurdle with no effort at all. She sounds even better today than she did back when she performed this version. The headpiece is a crown of flowers. Seems to be a Norwegian thing. If they had panned the crowd you'd have seen that half the girls there were similarly attired.

DEEP voice, check out her ADELE-cover of "A million Years ago" PLZ MAN! All the best from Arctic Lo-Ve Islands, Norway

band choice?.. she is fan tastic..

You should check out iron cross the guitarist is just 16 yr old romainiinan

If she ever pushes it she better do it outside or the walls might blow out !

Che c’entra Chris Stapleton !? É un altro stile, é un altro tipo di arrangiamento. E soprattutto é un uomo. Angelina é una adolescente.

RIGHT ON --TENGRI-HEAVEN --WOW OK ---NO ---- SOUNDS LIKE SHE IS ...TOO HIGH ---MUSIC BLOCKS HER SINGING ?? TRYING YES YOU ARE RIGHT ...BLUES --- DIANA SHOULD ----OK GOOD REACTIONS

Might as well start at the beginning her first recorded song that I know of is I who have nothing done at 6 years old ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-RjQZKBpVaes.html The only thing earlier on her I've seen is a clip of about one line sung at 18 months old. Yep a year and a half old singing with a mic (toy?) Already already very good at 6.

You DO blabber a lot!

I don't love her. I'm IN love, with her :)

Poor recording from an iPhone, but you catch it.....
